Dodmores Vibratory conveyor

• Used for controlled feeding and conveying of bulk materials in food processing.
• Suitable for pharmaceutical industries requiring gentle product handling.
• Applied in chemical processing for precise material transfer.
• Utilised in packaging lines for consistent product delivery to fillers.
• Effective for sorting and separating components in various manufacturing processes.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of vibratory conveyor typically ranges from several hundred kilograms to a few tonnes per hour, depending on material density and desired feed rate.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a single-phase (1Ph) electrical supply, with industrial versions often requiring 3-phase.

Material of construction

For food and pharmaceutical applications, stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) is typically used for contact parts and frame for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

The overall length for a vibratory conveyor of this size is commonly around 2 to 3 metres, with widths varying based on application.

Hopper capacity

Integrated hoppers on units of this type typically range from 20kg to 100kg, providing a buffer for continuous feeding.

Mobility

Many vibratory conveyors, especially smaller to medium-sized units, are designed to be mobile for flexible plant layout.

• What types of materials can a vibratory conveyor handle?

  Vibratory conveyors are well-suited for handling a wide range of dry, granular, powdered, and small particulate materials, including foodstuffs, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. They are less suitable for sticky or very wet products.

• How is the feed rate controlled on these units?

• What maintenance is typically required for a vibratory conveyor?

• Are these units suitable for washdown environments?

• Can the angle of the conveyor be adjusted?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
